A Message from the MTSC Chair

Thank you for visiting MTSC's web site. MTSC wants to be a transportation safety resource for you.
It is my mission as Chair to promote the MTSC and to further spread the highway safety message to others. I believe that we as highway safety professionals are passionate about our role in saving lives on Maine's roads, but in order to make a difference that passion needs to be expressed and passed to others around us. If you have questions or suggestions on how we can promote important safety issues, please feel free to contact us.

- Alan Vitcavage, Chair and the Executive Board
